Abstract
- Aims Physiological cardiac adaptation in athletes is influenced by multiple factors. This study aimed to investigate the impact of sex, age, body size, sports type and training volume on cardiac adaptation in healthy athletes with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Methods A total of 327 athletes (242 male) were studied (adults ≥18 years old; adolescents 14–18 years old). Left and right ventricular ejection fractions, end-diastolic volume, end-systolic volume, stroke volumes and masses were measured. Left ventricular end-diastolic volume/left ventricular mass, right ventricular end-diastolic volume/right ventricular mass and derived right/left ventricular ratios were determined to study balanced ventricular adaptation. Athletes were categorised as skill, power, mixed and endurance athletes. Results Male athletes had higher left and right ventricular volumes and masses in both adult ( n = 215 (145 male); 24 ± 5 years old) and adolescent ( n = 112 (97 male); 16 ± 1 years old) groups compared with women (all P Conclusion There are significant sex differences in the physiological adaptation of adult and adolescent athlete’s heart; and male sex, higher training volume and endurance sports are major determinants of sports adaptation in adults.
